We’re working to fund local, purposeful initiatives to benefit healthcare in our community.

Our Projects

Our projects support and enhance healthcare in our community by investing in extra services, facilities, research and training opportunities that meet our community's needs.

We work closely with the hospital’s senior clinical staff to identify where funding is needed most. This relationship and knowledge also helps ensure complex projects keep moving forward.

We primarily focus on significant, long-term initiatives - the kind of transformational change that wouldn’t be possible with just one backer or community organisation behind it. Through our Foundation, big and small donations alike create long-term solutions, rather than quick fixes.

Whenever you donate to us, your funds go towards making projects like these happen. You can learn more about our efforts below - and we’ll be announcing our next major project soon.

If you are a staff member of Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora MidCentral and you have a project you’d like to recommend for funding, please contact your line manager.
